TRANSPARENT PANEL FOR' GLAZED WINDOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,847, dated March17, 1903.

Application filed December 28, 1900. Serial No. 41,320. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FERDINAND ALEXANDRE J UMEAU, a citizen of theRepublic of France, and a resident of Arbent, France, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Transparent Panels for GlazedWindows, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my present invention is to produce, by means of pearls,stones, or pieces of glass, polished stones, and the like of differentcolors, ornamental panels on which said pearls, 850., form transparentdesigns.

The invention provides ornamental panels of an improved character whichmay be manufactured in a short time and in a very economical manner.

The improved panels are manufactured as follows: The design to bereproduced is marked by means of series of perforations on a sheet ofmetal, cardboard, rigid gelatin, mica, or other suitable material. Saidperforations correspond to the peripheries of the pearls, cut orpolished stones, &c., designed to constitute the pattern.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 1 is an edge View illustrating one mode of carrying out myinvention. Fig. 2 is a similar View showing the use of glass or otherballs or spheres of different sizes. Fig. 3 is a plan view with theupper confiningplate removed.

The perforated sheet B serves to hold the pearls, &c., D inserted in theperforations. Said sheet is then placed between two glass plates H, Fig.1, and locked in this position by any suitable devices. As seen in Fig.2,the di ameter of the smallest pearl J is somewhat larger than thewidth of the hollow space I between the plates H B. The plate B istherefore located at about the middle point between the plates H H. Thesheet B may also be replaced by a Wire-cloth. The loops or openingscorrespond to the diameter of the pearls, &c. The metal plate will beperforated at the exact points where pearls, stones, &c., are to belocated in accordance with the design to be reproduced.

It Will be understood that the perforations may be of any desiredoutline in accordance with the shape of the pearls, stones, &c.,employed. The latter may be movably arranged in said perforations.

Having fully described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

A transparent ornamental panel for glazed windows, comprising two glassplates, and a perforated sheet secured between the same, and pearls, cutor polished stones or the like, held in the perforations of said sheetand constituting any desired design, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.

FERDINAND ALEXANDRE JUlllEAU.
